Hello everyone, it's been a while since I'm working on a blog post again. Since school started again, I really didn't find any motivation to post anything haha. But since I have 2 weeks of autumn vacation now, I think I'll post more to bring my blog back to life again. 
How was your october? It's not quite over yet, but til now this month was pretty messy for me. Ugh, do you know that feeling of not knowing what to do next since too much is happening at once at one certain point? My mind is a mess and I'm so confused. Other than that, we should still be positive about everything right? 
So my plan for today was a "What's in my purse?", but apparently my camera is not working with me. The photos came out terribly blurry.. oh my. So that's the only photo I ended up working with. 


Since my camera doesn't want to cooperate with me for today, I decided to try it tomorrow. I'll give a little sneak peek on the things I really want to blog about for the next two weeks. First things first the "What's in my purse?", cause I already planned it out. I thought about doing a video, cause it's more convenient, faster and a lot more entertaining. But I'm also absolutely not good in front of a camera, so I canceled that out. I will practice and maybe my very first video will come out soon. The next thing I thought about doing is a "Monthly Favourite" post, I posted a monthly favorite once or twice already and it was quite fun. So I thought about doing it monthly if I find the time to do so. I don't really find a lot of ideas n what to post lately, maybe reviews, DIY's, a room tour? Do you have any request? Leave your request down below, I'd love and appreciate them. 

XOXO

Hello everyone! Again, it's been a while. I really suck at posting regularly.. anyway! I've been on vacation to Vietnam again and so I took the opportunity to shop for asian cosmetic, since they don't sell it here in Germany. Though I really enjoyed shopping and digging through the stuff they had, I ended up paying quite a lot, because the products in Vietnam are a lot pricier than in Korea since you have to pay taxes. Well, whatever, it's like once in a while right? Okay, let's go.




To be honest, I'm super impressed by the Nature Republic Aloe Vera Gel. It does a great job in moisturizing my skin, it feels fresh and smells amazing. No wonder it's the No.1 Best Selling product. Actually the product itself says it contains alcohol, which is a no-go in moisturizing products since alcohol dries out the skin even more by sucking out the moisture. So I was double sided first but ended up buying it, just to try it out.. and I'm very satisfied! I even bought few more to make it as a gift to friends haha.

Asia Beauty Haul '14

2014/04/16

Normaler Weise trage ich nicht so viel Make-up, aber wenn ich mich schminke dann eher dezent und natürlich. Da ich sehr tollpatschig bin und unterwegs immer mal hier und da was verwischt und ich es nicht mal merke. Für ein Alltags Make-up sollte man es auch nicht übertreiben hehe. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch trotzdem.

I usually don't wear that much make up, but if I do, I try to keep it as natural and light as possible, here we go:


Ich benutze die Chanel Hydra Beauty Creme 62,95€ (Douglas) als eine tägliche Feuchtigkeitspflege, allerdings nur für den Tag. Da ich wirklich extrem trockene Haut habe, fällt es mir etwas schwerer eine Gesichtspflege zu finden die mir genug Feuchtigkeit spendet und meiner Haut nicht schadet. Da habe ich nämlich schon vieles hinter mir.. Durch Zufall bin ich auf diese Gesichtskreme gestoßen und ich muss schon sagen, dass sie eines meiner besten Gesichtskremen ist. Zudem kann ich auch nicht sagen, dass ich sie weiter empfehle, weil sie auf jeden Hauttyp anders wirkt. Ich habe die Kreme auch im KaDeWe GLAUBE ICH etwas billiger bekommen als in Douglas.

I use the Chanel Hydra Beauty Creme as my daily moisturizer for the day. I have extremely dry skin, which makes it really hard for me to find a good moisturizer which gives me the right amount of hydration and doesn't give me a breakout. I wouldn't say that this is worth recommending, since it reacts differently to every skin type. 


Meistens trage ich vor meiner Feuchtigkeitscreme das Anti-Aging Serum von Olaz (gekauft bei Rossmann) auf. Das klingt jetzt sicherlich komisch, da ich gerade mal 18 geworden bin und Anti-Aging Produkte benutze haha.. Aber nein, ehrlich gesagt hat das ganze Falten reduzieren Palaber gar keine Wirkung, zumindest bei mir nicht. Jedoch spendet sie mir wirklich viel Feuchtigkeit. Ob es Nebenwirkung hat wenn ich in so frühem Alter Anti-Aging Produkte benutze? Wenn jemand Erfahrung damit hat bitte melden hehe.

Usually I use my anti-aging serum (Olaz) before my moisturizer. I know it sounds super ridiculous that I'm using anti-aging products already since I just turned 18 haha. But the serum gives me lots of hydration, which I NEED. I don't even know if it's good for me to use anti aging products this early, but it works for me.. If anyone has any experience with this, please tell me!


Ich bin eigentlich kein großer Fan von Foundations, da es meiner Meinung nach zu künstlich aussieht, zumindest bei mir, wegen meiner trockenen Haut. Aber um meine Haut ebenmäßig zu bekommen mixe ich meine Foundation mit meinem Serum, da die Foundation an sich für mich zu trocken ist und zu 'stark' wenn man das so sagt hihi. Allerdings muss ich sagen, dass die Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua 42,99€ (Douglas) meine absolute Lieblings Foundation ist! Und die Maxfactor All-Day-Flawless 13,95€ (Douglas) gleich auf Platz 2 hehe.

I'm not big fan of foundations, since I have extremely dry skin and it just looks so unnatural on me.. But just to even out my skin tone I mix a teny tiny bit of foundation with my serum and a little goes a long way! The Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua is my all time favourite and the Maxfactor All-Day-Flawless does a great job too as a drugstore and cheaper option. 


Augenbrauen Pinsel von Real Technique (Starter Set) 
Catrice Lidschatten in 350 Starlight Expresso


Maybelline Gel Eyeliner (7,95€) in 
01 Black tight lining or just normal thin applied eyeliner, close to the lash line
02 Brown softer looking eyeliner for a more natural look, no harsh lines


Ich benutze die Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara, da meine Wimpern kurz sind und geradeaus nach unten wachsen.. die wasserfesten Mascaras enthalten Wachs und geben somit den dünnen und leichten Wimpern mehr Standhaftigkeit. Und was ich wirklich an dieser Mascara liebe ist, dass sie extrem schwarz ist! Jedoch schenkt sie meinen Wimpern nicht so viel Länge, aber deutlich mehr Volumen. Um meine Wimpern zu 'verlängern' benutze ich die Sublime De Chanel in Nr.10 (30,99€).

For the mascara I'm using the  Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Waterproof Mascara. I have very thin and short lashes, which makes it really hard for me to use any mascara which works on them and doesn't make them go back to straight after I curled them. Luckily I found the Maybelline mascara which curles my lashes and what I really love about it is that it is pitch black! It doesn't give my lashes any length though, that's why I'm using the Sublime De Chanel mascara to give them a coat of length. 


Sleek Face Contour Kit in no. 884 Light (7,99€)





Le Blush Creme de Chanel in 
no. 64 Inspiration (for a natural look throughout the day) and 
no. 69 Intonation (bold, cute look, flushy cheeks for a night out)


Catrice Blush Pearls C01 iROSEdescent (Limited Edition) ca. 5€

Die Blush Pearls benutze ich als Highlighter, da sie mir etwas zu hell ist als Blush und mir ein Tick zu viel schimmert. Aber sie sehen irre toll aus als Highlighter!

I use the blush pearls as a highlighter, because this is way to light for me as a blush, and also it does make your face look adorably glowy as a highlighter.





Der Chanel Rouge Coco in no. 76 Sari Doré (30,99€) bei Douglas ist die perfekte Farbe für den Frühling! Er bringt Farbe ins Gesicht, ist nicht zu stark auf den Lippen, spendet den Lippen Feuchtigkeit und sieht auch süß aus.
Chanel Rouge Coco in no. 76 Sari Doré is a super adorable and the perfect lipstick color for spring. It's not as bold as it looks, kind of orangi, peachi and bright. Perfect for daytime!

Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in no. 38 La Fascinante sieht in der Verpackung aus wie dunkel rot, jedoch ist es doch viel heller sobald man es aufgetragen hat. Dieser Lippenstift ist eins meiner Lieblinge, da man ihn nicht all zu stark tragen muss und er sieht trotzdem schön aus. Was ich auch toll  an dem finde ist, dass er meine Lippen nicht austrocknet, was ja bei matten Lippenstiften bekanntlich ist. Die Farbe kann man sowohl tagsüber als auch am Abend zu ner Feier tragen, generell zu allen Anlässen hihi.
Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in no. 38 La Fascinante looks in the packaging as if it's dark red, but once you put it on it's a pinky, plumy and bits and pieces of red kind of color, if you know what I mean hahaha. Not but seriously I love this lipstick. It's one of my favorite! And also it's not drying out my lips as I thought it would do! I usually wear this at daytime, too, because I'm so in love with the color.



Monthly favorite item ♡


Ich hab schon seit längerer Zeit nach einer neuen Tasche gesucht und nie wirklich eine gefunden bei der ich mir sicher war, dass ich sie unbedingt haben will. Letztendlich habe ich dann doch die eigentlich perfekte Tasche gefunden, und die war nicht mal teuer! Erst war ich mir nicht soooo sicher, ich hab einem Freund ein Bild von der Tasche geschickt und er meinte auch "schlicht, aber trotzdem chic", zumindest glaube ich dass er das gesagt hat (so ähnlich maybe) ansonsten habe ich sowieso das selbe gedacht hehe. Am Ende hab ich mir die Tasche dann gekauft, mit einer Woche Verzögerung (war auch noch das letzte Exemplar im Geschäft!). Und eigentlich bin ich vollkommen zufrieden mit dieser Tasche, was denkt ihr?

I've been looking for the perfect bag for a looong time already, but I never really found one. I'm not that easy when it comes to bags. It has to fulfill my qualities hehe. But I'm quite satisfied with this one. It wasn't expensive at all, and a quick purchase. I saw it in the store but wasn't quite sure at first. But after leaving the store I was kinda sad that I haven't bought it. After a week I finally bought it and it was the last one in the store! And luckily I got it haha. I don't have that much bags, and I'm a person who reuses her bags until they're ready to throw away hahaha. That never really happened though. I have like 3 bags I use constantly. My rucksack (Herschel), which I bought in Urban Outfitters 2 years ago, for school, my little handbag (rly small actually) for night outs with my girls or sth., and now my new one, just for going out, sometimes for school, and in general for traveling maybe? I don't even know hehe. I'm sure my new bag and I are going to have fun and make lots of memories haha.

Kirschblütenfest / Cherry Blossom Festival 2014 

Even though these are not exactly cherry blossoms, since they're already gone, I pretty liked the scenery of this tree.
